McCABE MAGAZINES SEASON 33 PREVIEW ISSUE

ROBERT E. McCABE MAGAZINE'S PREVIEW AND POSTSEASON AWARDS

Seattle Mariners Win Season 33 World Series over the Washington Nationals 

Naples, Florida (MCM) – Welcome to season 33 and welcome to all the new owners, kingkai53 Baltimore Orioles, mrmich1 Detroit Tigers, and Ricky862 of the Arizona Diamondbacks to the greatest league in cyberspace. Before we unveil our major league predictions and postseason awards, we wanted to let you know what the biggest sportsbook in the world, the folks at Westgate Super SportsBook in Las Vegas think of the upcoming season with their posted odds to win season 33 World Series.

Who the Wise Guys Like?

We spoke with the super odds maker and operations manager at Westgate, Mr. P. Edward Rose on why they think the Seattle Mariners is the favorite to win season 33 league championship. Rose says “the Mariners are the Golden State Warriors of baseball. We think they have overcome the San Diego Padres in terms of overall pitching from rotation to bullpen. The daily lineup has 4-5 solid All-stars.” Leading the way on the Westgate board to win this year’s Cy Young award is last year’s winner, the Mariners Mike Harper 22-8. “That staff of Harper, William Whang 16-6, Miguel Mesa 16-2, Raul Escalona 15-6, Eddie Averill 12-4 and Jose Gabriel career 2.50 ERA will be unstoppable.” Before we could ask the next question Rose began to point out the stats of the 4 season 32 All-star position players. “Jose Valdes (1B) 34 HR 135 RBI 301 BA, Harry Thayer (2B) 28 HR 140 RBI 313 BA,  Otto Magnusson (3B) 29 HR 125 RBI, and Tim Nixon (RF) 22 HR 129 RBI 310 BA that’s just un F****ing believable. Most teams would be lucky to have one of those types of players, the Mariners have 4. They won 122 games last year which broke the Padres season 20 record of 116 by 6 victories.” We have to agree with the top three teams on the Westgate board; however McCabe Magazine’s playoffs teams differ just slightly.

McCabe Magazine would like to thank Mr. Rose and the folks at Westgate for the all access giving to our staff during our visit to the casino, and for bending a few Nevada Gaming Association rules for allowing me to use my prepaid Visa to place a $25 bet on the Mariners, thanks again.
